The Strokes - Barely Legal

Barely Legal

I didnt take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Aw mama runnin' out of luck
Well like my sister dont give a fuck
I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life it dont make sense
those strange manners, I loved’ em so:
“Why wont you wear your new trench coat?”

I should've worked much harder
I should have just not bothered
I never show up on weekdays
Somethin that you learned yesterday
“Drive you to work, youll be on time”
Your little problems, theyre not yours theyre mine
Come on listen to what I say
Ive got some secrets thatll make you stay
I just want to turn you down
I just want a turn you around
oh You aint never had nothin I wanted but..
I want it all, I just cant figure out…
Nothing.

And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Then she said “oh youre a freak”
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again, like the beginnin
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did the thing you hide
But for the record its between you and I.

Aw mama runnin out of luck
Well like my sister dont give a fuck
I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life it just dont make any sense
Your strange manners I love them so
Why wont you wear your new trench coat
I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
You aint never had nothin I wanted but
I want it all, I just cant figure out..
Nothing.

And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Then she said oh I can wait
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did the thing you hide
But for the record its between you and I.
